 Peter and the Wolf
Author: Cindy 
Date:   2003-02-21 04:57

Our chamber orchestra at our school (basically, the winds and strings who know how to play) are playing peter and the wolf for our upcoming concert in a few months. And, being both a band and orchestra member, I have been recruited to recruit people from the band to play the uncovered wind parts. I was just wondering, does anyone know the exact wind/percussion instrumentation for Peter and the wolf? If so I would be most grateful if you would tell me. Thanks!

Cindy,
If you don't know the instruments required, you obviously haven't got the parts or seen the score yet.
If you've only got a few months I'd get them as soon as possible. It's a very difficult piece for all the wind players.

Be glad that you don't play flute. Listen and you'll know what I mean.
My high school played this piece a few years ago- the clarinet part has a few very tricky bits that require a lot of work. There's a cadenza.
